cooked breakfast should be served for
President CARNoT. The resulting irri-
liability would undoubtedly permeate
his entire days work and his usefulness
would be impaired to such an extent
perhaps that the course of legislation
might be hampered and the best in
terests of France seriously interfered
with.
Then, again, if the presidents dinner
were a failure, think of the direfui leg
islative possibilities accompanying fit
of indigestion or an attack of dyspepsia.
At any moment fit of ill-temper con-
sequent upon ruined stomach might
involve all Europe in war. So that it
will be seen that the cook of president
occupies position hardly less impor-
tant than that of the chief cabinet Off
Ger. Indeed if they have such thing
as kitchen cabinet in France, CAR
NOT'S cook is well entitled to be the
prime minister of it.
Because of their presidents infallible
digestion and the resulting clearness of
intellect and serenity of temper essen
tial to wise executive, France can af-
ford to look upon CARROTS high-priced
cook as an economical investment.

SITTING BULLS MISSION.

SITTING BULL, the somewhat famous
Sioux chieftain, is again taking interest
in life. The tour of the Eastern cities
which he once made under the auspices
of st. Paul man has left such pleasing
recollectionS that the distinguished
savage has never since been satisfied
with his rather mOnotonOus lot as the
savage ruler of still more savage men"
held in a state of virtual captivity by
Uncle Sans soldiers, and consequently
debarred from the qualification of nat
ural blOodthirSty instincts.
But firing of the tedium which neces-
sarily accompanies the idle consump-
ton of government rations at a frontier
post, SITTING BULL has evolved a
scheme. When the lands were allotted
to his tribe in SeveraltY it was pro-
vided that the equivalent to be returned
to the Indians for the surplus lands
should be in cattle, not in money.
That was SITTING BULLS Opportu-
nifty. Cattle was not easily convertible
into frewater and other desirable
goods owned by the pale faces. Money
COulu easily UO OAChahSSu hoA lhO wv
eted fluid, and such other articles as the
noble red men might long for. A spirit
of discomfort was easily fomented, and
behold the result.
A purse of $1,000 has been subscribed
by the credulouS braves to send SITTING
BULL and delegation of kindred spirits
to Washington to protest against the
award of cattle instead of money, and
preparations for the trip are already
being made. Who shall say then that
the eminent Sioux assassin is but an
ignorant savage. The securing OF an

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Il think the GLOBES criticisms on
our system of sidewalk cleaning was
unnecessarily severe" remarked City
Engineer RUNDLETT, in talking the
matter over yesterday. Il admit that
the last storm caught us in bad shape,as
up to that time we had no opportunity
to organize system. But now | think
| have systematiZed the work in such
shape that there will be no further room
for complaint. There was sleet with
the last snowfall which frOze to the
pavementS and became exceedingly
difficult to remove. We were not pro-
vided with the proper tools either, and
if our force did not make as clean job
on cleaning away the ice and snow
as people thought they ought to have
done, you can bet there was some eX-
cuSe for it. Then, too, we had a scarcity
of hands, and could not get over as
much ground as we ought to have done.
-
''But, these troubles will not occur
again." continued Capt. RUNDLETT.
Il have now a force of nearly 200 men,
well organized and the whole work re-
duced to as complete system as it is
possible to make it. The city has now
furnished me with seven snow pl0ws,
which will enable us to get over about
fifty miles day and will give us a
chance to reach all the outlying dis
tricts. With the snOw-pIows and scrap
ers it will be an easy job in the future
to keep the streets and sidewalks clear
of snow. Nor will it be expensive to the
property holders. The work of side
walk cleaning up to this time has cost
an average of a cent and half per run
ming foot. Thus, lot with front of
fifty feet would cost the owner IS cents
for cleaning the sidewalk. But it will
not be so expensive in the future. We
will probably not have any more ice and
Sleet to contend with, and with our i'm
proved facilities for doing the work it is
going to be done much cheaper hereaft-
er. L think the improved condition of
the streets already should reconcile our
people to the new law. Yet, do not
understand why they should have
brthened my Office with the RESPONSE
bility of executing it. Still, l am going
to do my best to make it a success"

WALKING-STICKS.

The Overtaxed Strength of Dude
dom Will be Relieved.
''The fashionable walking-sticks for
this fall and winter will not be as large
as they were last year," said salesman
in Broadway shop. 1.-THE swell youths
who carried those telegraph poles all
last winter found themselves pulled
down in flesh when spring came. The
result is that the medium-Weight sticks
will be most in demand this season.
The plain styles are selling best
now. The English hazel and French
crab sticks. with medium-sized silver
caps, are popular, and ash, alive, Or
ange and snakewOOd, with crooks and
knobs all in one piece, are correct for
all but dress occasions. Crooks and
crutches of buckhOrn are still very pop
ular, and some new sticks are made of
American laurel, which, by the way,
comes from Mexico. Old English oak is
also i'll use this season, and is as stylish
for canes as it is for house decorations.
''Silyer-depOsit canes came out this
year, and are in great demand. They
are made by covering the wood with
graphite to make it conductor of cleo
trlclty and then electrO-Dlating the top.
"A great many gentlemen this year
have cut articles for themselves where
they have been summering land brought
them to us to have the silver deposit put
On them. We have to keep large vari-
ETY. of fantastic styles, such as demons,
dragons, harlequins and clowns. These
are all in silver, and some are very eff
fective, as, for instance, this one of
skull with lizard crawling on it. An
other skull cane has emeralds for eyes,
and the lower jaw pivoted so that it.
We get the London and Paris designs
as soon as they come out, and we i'm
port some of the class of sticks that we
think will sell. There are more home
designs sold than imported ones"

A WRONG ESTIMATE.

Unless he has been incorrectly re-
ported in a recent interview, Exon
gresham STRAIT has miSerably low
rity of the Minnesota people. MIR.
STRAIT is quoted as saying that the peO-
pie of Minnesota are in favor of tariff
reform and tax reduction, but that it
didn't make any difference what posi-
ton the Republican party took Oh these
or any other questions, Minnesota would
give the usual Republican majority.
The substance of Mr.. STRAITS opinion
is that Minnesota Republicans are such
hide-bOund set of partisans that they
are not open to conviction, or where they
have been convinced they are too servile
class to disobey the mandate of the
bosses. The GLOBE feels impelled to
vindicate MINES sofa Republicans from
this imputation. 1t does not believe
that the party in this state is made up
of a herd of ignOramuses who can be
driven into the political market and
sold like sheep in the shambles. 1t
gives the Republicans of Minnesota
credit for having as much manhood and
intelligence among its members as the
party possesses elsewhere. There are
great many Minnesota Republicans who
are welded to the Republican doctrine
of protection, and will stand or fall with
the motto OF protection on their STAN
dard. But there are a great many other
Minnesota Republicans who do not sub
scribe to any such heresy and we be-
lieve they will not be forced into sub
mission by the crack of the party whip.
If Mr.. BLAINE is nominated on pro-
tective platform, as he will be, there are
a great many Minnesota Republicans
who hold their individual convictions
above party fealty will not bow down

RUSlNESS VIEW OF 1T.

The views of a body like the New
York board of trade, constituted. as it
Is, of the representatives of the business
Interests of the great metropolis, are at
all times entitled to respectful consider
alton. New York is the business and
financial hub of the continent, and the
prevailing sentiment in that center of
our industrial life must more or less inn
press itself upon the business affairs of
the entire country. The resolutions
adopted by the New York board of
trade at Wednesdays meeting may be
taken as fairly indicative of the business
sense of the country respecting import
ant issues now uppermOSt in the
public mind. The first resolution
is an emphatic declaration in
favor of revenue reduction. 1t is all
assertion that all existing industries are
embarrassed, and seriously embarrassed,
by the diversion OF money from business
channels as useless accumulation of
it in the treasury vaults. The resolu-
ton is in fact a ringing expression of
opinion from the business men of the
trade and money center of the nation
in support of the position taken by
President CLEVELAND in his last an
nuaI message. The second resolution
is in the same line of Endorsement, for
itagrees with Mr.. CLEVELAND's views
in declaring that while it is desirable to
reduce internal revenue taxes, it is also
not desirable to abolish the internal
revenue system. The internal revenue
taxes are levied on luXuries while the
tariff duties are collected mainly from
articles that are neceSsarleS. An indi-
vidual doesn't need to have any vast
amount of business experience to teach
him the justice of taxing luXuries in
preference to such articles as are for the
living and comfort of the people. The
other resolutions adopted by the New
York board of trade indicate that the
business men of the metropolis are in
close sympathy with business SEN
timent throughout the country, and
especially here in the Northwest.
The declarations in favor of
a postal telegraph, of the necessity of a
judiciOuS national anti-adulteration law,
of the consideration of the subject of
commercial union with Canada, and of
the proposition to amend the cOnStitu-
ton so as to allow the president to veto
separate items in an annual apprOpria-
ton bill, are all i'll complete harmony On
these questions.
These resolutions will not only have
a good effect as indications of the bust
ness sentiment of the country, but they
likewise show that the business inter
ests are being aroused to the necessity
for bringing an influence to bear on con-
greSs in securing such legislation as is
imperatively necessary to relieve the
country from the dangers which menace
